Anthologise competition deadline extended by one week
Posted: 21 February 2012
Anthologise, the National Poetry Anthology Competition for secondary schools, launched last year by the Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, has extended its closing date by one week to 8th March 2012.
This Laureate Education project is intended to encourage the wider reading, appreciation and enjoyment of poetry by pupils in schools. Open to all schools in the UK, groups of any size are invited to work together to create an anthology of poetry, using the resources and guidelines provided on the Anthologise website.
The judges are the Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, National Poet for Wales Gillian Clarke, Scots Makar Liz Lochhead, John Agard, Grace Nichols and Cambridge Professor of Children's Poetry Morag Styles.
The winning anthology will be announced in June 2012 and the winning school will be visited by the Poet Laureate.
The anthology will be published by Picador, with a foreword by HRH The Duchess of Cornwall and Carol Ann Duffy The Poet Laureate.
